She may be going thru a growth spurt. Try giving her more solid foods during the day to help and maybe a little bigger dinner. Not so much that she get a tummy ache or anything. My son didn't sleep all night till he was 12 months and off the bottle. Over the next few months you will want to try to introduce more and more solids. Around 11 months give her a sippy cup so she can get used to using it. At 12 months take her off the bottle completely and switch to regular milk. It worked like magic with my son. He was a little upset, maybe a week or so baout the bottle but he adpted very quickly. You may just have to tuff it out for a few more months but get prepared for the change around12 months.

I just had a 7 month old foster child move in and this is what we did. We would make sure he had a bottle before he went to sleep and when he woke up, we gave him 3 ounces of water...the next night he only got 2 ounces of water...the next night one ounce of water...after this he didn't wake up anymore. He is only doing it, because he knows he will get a bottle and he has trained himself to get up every two to three hours. At this age, he should be well on three meals a day with a bottle in between each...the last one being right before bedtime with juice and water in between bottles / feedings to get him through the day. After this if he wakes up, gently pat him on his bottom and he should go right back to sleep, but whatever you do don't go back up from one ounce of water because then you will be starting right back where you were. It takes some patience as he will more than likely not like the water and cry / fuss some, but it really doesn't take that long.

With my daughter that age I gave her a warm bottle mixed with formula and cereal before she went to bed and that helped her to sleep through the night (they are suppost to sleep longer with a full tummy) Getting her off the bottle was kind of hard for me though since she was so used to it, I know it sounds mean but my last resort was letting her cry herself to sleep in no time she would stop and no more going to sleep with a bottle, it was nice and worth it.
Hope this helps and good luck

Start giving her water when she wakes up eventually she will think whats the point of waking up mums only going to give me water, it worked for me. Try feeding her more solids at night so she will feel more content.

he's in simple terms waking up out of habit. have you ever tried in simple terms rocking him lower back to sleep without bottle? At 10 months he shouldn't could consume at night, he could be getting sufficient food throughout the day, so i does no longer complication approximately that the two. it particularly is likely habit and for convenience. that's what i'm doing with my 6 month previous. She used to wake me up two times a night to nurse, yet at the instant i've got in simple terms been rocking her lower back to sleep whilst she wakes up. Now she in basic terms wakes up as quickly as somewhat of two times, and that i nonetheless in simple terms rock her lower back to sleep. She cries for maybe a pair minutes on the main and then in simple terms is going lower back to sleep. i'm hoping by skill of next week she would have the capacity to no longer be waking up in any respect. stable success! :)

probably the baby does not get full you should try to feed her 2 bottles before you lay the baby down to sleep.
